Hi, is everything all right?
Not so good. I went to the doctor for a check-up, and he told me that I must eat better and exercise more.

I sometimes eat salad, but not often. However, I eat vegetables almost every day. Potato chips are made of potatoes; That's a vegetable, isn't it?
That's not healthy. Do you take vitamins?
B: I have vitamins at home. I take them intermittently, but I often forget them.
How about green tea? Good for your health!
I drink a little occasionally, but I prefer coffee. Is this healthy?

Ok, how about running or jogging? How often do you jog?

I see. How about walking? How often do you go for a walk?

A: How about doing push-ups or aerobic exercise at home? Do you do this sometimes?
